Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 5–6 lemons)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 cup ice
- Optional: peach slices, lemon slices, and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, and sugar. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the fruit is pureed.
- Strain the mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any pulp or fibrous bits. Use a spoon to press and extract as much liquid as possible, resulting in a smooth lemonade base.
- Add water and mix: Stir in the cold water thoroughly to dilute the concentrated flavors and achieve the desired consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if preferred.
- Chill and serve: Add the ice cubes to the pitcher and chill the drink until cold and refreshing. Before serving, pour into glasses and garnish with fresh peach slices, lemon rounds, and mint leaves if desired for an attractive presentation.
Notes
- For a sparkling version, replace some or all of the cold water with chilled sparkling water to add fizz.
- Frozen peaches can be used if fresh ones are out of season; just thaw them slightly before blending.
